Prayer of Confession, E2C

Picture
Call to Confession
​
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and seek God's mercy.

Prayer of Confession

Welcoming God,
forgive us:
our hospitality runs out 
before the party ends;
our compassion toward one another
fails the minute we believe 
that someone is daring to infringe 
on our personal freedom;
our belief in you
and your activity in the world
is subject to proof.
Miracle-maker, 
transform our stubborn hearts.
Turn our egocentricity
into love for neighbor,
our self-righteousness
into humility,
our distrust
into faith
that all who seek to celebrate
the wonder of your steadfast love
may find it reflected
in your people.


Assurance of God's Grace

Hear the Good News! In Jesus Christ we are forgiven! Then let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:22) 

Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us also forgive one another.
The peace of Christ be with you.
Please extend the peace of Christ to all whom you encounter this week.

    Julie served as a Commissioned Ruling Elder in a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation for thirteen years. She now absolutely delights in filling the pulpit for colleagues upon request, and looks forward to opportunities to do so. Her reformed perspective is sprinkled with humor and presented with authenticity, and she is open to creatively deconstructing worship as a means to helping congregants explore worship in transformational ways.

    Julie and her husband, Ray, are parents of three adult children, and grandparents of four energetic and imaginative little people. She is an introverted-with-enough-extrovert-balance-to-keep-her-social, perfectionistic-with-hopper-tendencies, time and goal-oriented, kaleidoscopic, and insatiably curious child of God.
